Where PDM Stands Now

0 97

Pakistan Democratic movement was formed in 2020, to oust then Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran khan, which they succeeded last year in April after successful No Confidence motion. The PDM formed the government and chose Shahbaz Sharif as Prime Minister.

The PDM was against then prime minister Imran Khan, accusing his government of poor governance, political victimisation of opponents, and mismanaging the economy and foreign policy.  PDM also accused Imran Khan of being selected by the establishment which influenced the media and polls in 2018.

After forming the government, people expected the new government to curb rising inflation, and improve the value of Rupee, but neither inflation was controlled nor the value of Rupee improved.

The PDM government also developed some internal fissures, and some major parties if the movement left the coalition. The coalition had also held a ‘long march’ while the PPP also marched towards the capital from Sindh.

Forming a coalition government may be easy but remaining in government with a coalition is always tough, as different political parties make their demands which also include ministerial berths. The same problem has now occurred with PDM having a cabinet of nearly 100 members.

Experts have raised their voices against the PDM government for bringing the country to the cusp of default, the media is also accused of turning a blind eye towards economic matters and PDM instead of focusing on the Toshakhana wristwatch, should focus on inflation and other important issues of the country.

Inflation has been a significant challenge for Pakistan in recent years, with prices of essential commodities, such as food and fuel, rising sharply. The government has implemented various measures to control inflation, such as increasing interest rates and subsidies, but the issue remains a major concern for the Pakistani people.

It is worth noting that while the government has a significant role to play in controlling inflation, it is also affected by global economic factors, such as changes in commodity prices and exchange rates.

While opposition parties can play a vital role in holding the government accountable and highlighting the concerns of the people, ultimately, it is the responsibility of the government to implement effective measures to control inflation and improve the economic situation in the country but unfortunately the ousted government of Imran khan is not willing to sit in national assembly which has given PDM led government free hand to impose anything on the poor people

PDM chief Moulana Fazl ur Rahman, was very vocal against the establishment and Imran khan, but since 3 months he is silent citing health issues. The Khan led PTI after dethroned from power came on roads against the PDM accusing them of being involved in an America- led conspiracy.

Khan was also attacked while marching towards capital Islamabad, also accusing PDM members.

The recent threat by FM Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to leave the government after the government failed to deal with the IMF and burdening poor people with the taxes.

In conclusion, the PDM government failed to deliver their promises which were made before overthrowing the Imran Khan led government. The inflation has gone to all time high, with petrol and diesel prices also going out of control of the poor people. PDM should give relief sooner than later to have some face-saving in upcoming elections, otherwise clean sweep in Punjab and KP is on the cards.
